I was out exploring. Well, okay
exploring is a strong word. I got a little lost, but I found a little
town on the beach so it's all good. Still no word yet about my
captain and I'm a little weary to just ask so all I can do is keep my
ears open. While on the beach I saw a little lalafell dude guiding
around a cute Miqo'te girl. There were strange fully armored types
watching them so I decided to see what was going on. Maybe stick my
nose where it doesn't belong as they say. Turns out it was no big
deal. They were her bodyguards. She denied having bodyguards and
being rich. I don't know much about Miqo'te, but isn't it a little
odd for her to have been the only one there? Aren't they big on
family? Li always seemed to be missing his.
I tried to go say hi to the girl, but
some dude stuck his lanc in my face. Totally uncool. Her 'not
bodyguards' really need to chill. I was unarmed and only wearing
shorts, I doubt I could have looked like a threat. Dude was out in
leather anyway. Not only was he gonna burn, but he was ruining his
leather.
I'm still not entirely sure they were
truly on vacation. The girl and her lalafell dude looked like they
were, but they didn't bring, food, drinks, or sun lotion and had a
contingent of armed bodyguards. The girl was pretty though, so I
played along and joined in their vacation outing. I took over the
guiding of her while the little dude dehydrated himself more with
alcohol.
We'd been out there awhile, sitting in
the water and hunting shells. I could feel the sun getting meaner on
my shoulders and my skin getting a little tight. While she carried
her strange creature she found back to shore, I ducked under the
water to cool off. I then suggested we reapply our lotion, but she
didn't bring any. She set her little coblyn larva back down that she
found and I made her go back to the town with me for food and drinks.
She has no idea how harmful all that sun can be and she'll be feeling
it hardcore tomorrow when she can barely move and is burnt to a
crisp. The burn takes a bit to set in, you never know how bad you
overdid it until it's too late.
I ordered her some of my favorite foods
and some water. Without thinking I didn't order only finger foods, I
should have stuck to things easy to pick up for her. I realized I was
going to be missed if I didn't find my way back to the city, so I bid
her a good night, took my shrimp and left. I wonder if I'll ever see
her again?
Ships in the night I suppose? Raimy
always says that if you want something, go for it. Now maybe I need
to learn to be a fisherman so I can tell the story of the one that
got away?
